ANDRE THE GIANT

Another legend announced for the game is Andre the Giant. Andre will be a playable character once more after missing out on appearing in last year’s video game.

His inclusion shows that that the 2K developers are really focusing on a number of legends to make up the roster.

THE ROCK

A superstar who was never going to miss out. The Rock was the cover star for WWE 2K14 and is definitely one of the more popular stars in the game.

It remains to be seen which version of The Rock we will see, but we can still expect him to have one of the higher ratings in the video game.

EVA MARIE

It’s certainly an interesting choice to reveal right now. It could be a way of keeping fans on the edge of their seats as bigger names continued to be revealed but for now the Eva Marie is one of three divas announced for the game.

She may not be the best in-ring worker right now but the fact that 2K have made her into a playable superstar shows that they really will be making the largest roster ever.

TRIPLE H

Just like The Rock, Triple H is another huge yet expected addition to the video game.

We can expect to see the current Authority version of The Game as 2K revealed only one version of each superstar will be in the game, and another high rating is on the cards.

ALEXA BLISS

Another interesting name to reveal. Alexa Bliss is currently teaming with the NXT Tag Team Champions Blake & Murphy.

This is probably something NXT fans will be more excited by, but again it shows that by including Bliss anticipation will continue to build towards the other NXT announcements.

With Bliss in the game, other NXT stars will definitely be included such as Sami Zayn, Baron Corbin and potentially Samoa Joe.

HULK HOGAN ANNOUNCED BUT DROPPED FROM THE GAME

The sixth name that 2K had announced for the game was none other than Hulk Hogan.

Racism claims spread like wildfire a couple of days ago and the WWE have released Hogan and he has been completely wiped from WWE.com and the WWE have told their partners to drop Hogan from any of their merchandising.

“We are highly respectful of the way that our partners choose to run their business and manage our partnerships accordingly. We can confirm that Hulk Hogan will not appear in WWE 2K16.” – 2K Sports

His excommunication from 2K is the latest news to tarnish the Hogan legacy and we can expect this situation to continue to spiral in the coming weeks.

As for the video game, fans will continue to remain excited as over 100 superstars are still yet to be announced.
